Hello,

I#m looking for a new TV. I prefer the Sony XBR75X950G (US) KD-75XG9505(europe) as my first Android TV.

I need to know how well direct play is working on Plex app on these Sony TVs from 2019 or 2018. Currently I have an LG Uh9500, which supports direct play on any files, but only when I use the main audio stream and without subtitles. IN any other case it needs to be transcoded. I dont need other audio streams and subtitles, so its not a problem. I#m just afraid that the Sony TV can handle these worse then my current TV. Can someone tell me your expereience with driect play in general? What up with 4k and HDR movies?

I can’t tell you how a 2018/2019 Sony TV will work, but I can say, I have been using a KD-65X8509C (2015) for quite a while now, NO issues other than a tad “slow” but guess its the generation of chip. Can stream 4K HDR.
